An ideal location for an ideal lifestyle

The first step to creating the perfect community is choosing the right location. Accordingly, for the first Antara community, we chose 14 pristine acres in Purukul, Dehradun. Renowned for its serene beauty and comfortable weather throughout the year, Dehradun spoils for choice when it comes to stunning mountain ranges, shimmering lakes, lush green trails and places of historic value, all in close proximity to Antara.

Dehradun is well connected by air, road and rail to Delhi and other major cities in India. In the neighbourhood are the spiritual towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh, and hill stations like Mussoorie and Dhanaulti. The natural reserve forests of Rajpur, Galjwari, Rikhauli and Chamasari and the Malsi Deer forest nearby provide the perfect opportunity to explore an interest in wildlife. For those who wish to remain active in business, Dehradun, being the capital of Uttarakhand, is an upcoming growth center.

Antara’s location in Purukul comes under the wellness and tourism zone of Dehradun’s master plan. The world-class healthcare of a Max Super Specialty hospital is reassuringly just a short drive away. Overlooking one of Dehradun’s picturesque river valleys, with clean air untainted by the effluents of a busy city, clear star-filled nights and warm, sunny days, framed by the Himalayas to the North and the Shivaliks to the South, there’s no better place than Antara to live the next chapter of a well-lived life.

Our Design Journey

Our design journey began with a pioneer of design and architecture, Bradford Perkins who is a true visionary in designing spaces that support independence as we get older. Bradford soon became a friend and a vital partner in Antara's journey, along with his team from the Perkins Eastman office in New York.

To partner Bradford, Tomeu Esteva of Esteva i Esteva Arquitectura, a boutique design firm in Mallorca, Spain and an expert in creating beauty through design, joined the team to give the community a sense of life and expand on Perkins functionality and detailing.

As the design journey progressed into execution, Integral Designs crafted the entire landscaping, Arcop Associates joined the team to complete our residential spaces while Studio Lotus gave life to our Club to truly make it the jewel in the crown of the community.

What is the Lifetime Lease Advantage?

We have created an innovative leasehold structure for Antara. Applicants pay the fair market value of the apartment (as per their chosen payment plan) and are given a leasehold title deed on moving into the apartment. This leasehold title deed entitles the residents to live in the apartment for the rest of their lives.

• How does the resale of the lease work?
If a resident wishes to leave the community, Antara will market the apartment to new eligible residents. Current residents can also recommend interested eligible residents. Before doing this, Antara will estimate the new fair market value of the apartment through independent experts. This fair market value will take into account appreciation. Antara will use this fair market value as a guide and conduct sales proceedings accordingly to ascertain the next resident. The new resident will then pay the amount he/she has offered. This amount will then be given to the exiting residents, minus our marketing charges

• Can my nominees acquire leasehold rights to the apartment?
A resident can nominate a close relative, who meets the eligibility criteria, to live in the apartment after the passing of an existing resident. Antara will then issue a fresh lease deed in his/ her name for the remaining lease period.
Alternatively, a resident may nominate a person other than a close relative as a subsequent lessee, who meets the eligibility criteria. This subsequent lessee can enjoy the rights to live in the apartment after the demise of the lessee.

• Why this lifetime leasehold model?
This model was judiciously created with our residents in mind and facilitates financial security to them.
We want to ensure that Antara remains a like-minded community in the long run, and as such, we need a unique method to vet who becomes a resident in the community.
This gives Antara the responsibility to ensure the community is maintained and managed to the highest standards.
This model also helps residents given that Antara will take the responsibility of ensuring that upon the demise of the current lessee’s all financial proceeds are passed on to their nominees.
